friday I’m in love.

welcome back friday! be sure to pop over to see what kendra, mary beth, amanda, & laura are loving this week. we would love for you to join us! leave a comment and we’ll come check out what you’re loving each week!

it is not a big secret that I am a huge fan of paper goods, snail mail, handlettering, & the like. call me old fashioned, but there is nothing better than getting a handwritten letter or card in the mail! the only thing that is better than a paper card is one that is letterpressed. swoon! enter Farewell Paperie – a local Seattle company that is letterpressing the most fun & awesome cards. also, while on the topic, a big BIRTHDAY SHOUT-OUT to my mama (HAPPY BIRTHDAY)! I have a card & present waiting for you here, but let’s just pretend I sent you this card in the mail & it arrived just in time!

{two} eloise hugs.

I have been meaning to include it in the past few weekly updates, but it’s slipped my mind. hard to believe though since it is the best. thing. ever. eloise is now giving awesome hugs (like really solid ones) where she wraps her arms around your neck or shoulders for a moment. it is the sweetest thing & I hope you all get to experience an eloise hug some day soon.

I have been on a complete sewing frenzy & pretty much want to do it all day (when I am not cuddling with eloise, of course). there are lots of things on my to do list (see my Pinterest board here) & I can’t wait to get started! shopping for fabric is slightly difficult since getting out to shop is tricky when you have just a short window of “play” time before eloise goes down for a nap. I like to take my time perusing fabric & really making sure it is exactly what I want (& since I am a terrible decision-maker in that I can never decide anything!) it is always a lengthy process. despite not getting to feel the fabric, I do buy a lot of fabric from etsy. but, Emily Henderson just made my life a lot easier with her newest post this week: the best places to buy fabric online!
